Initially part of the Vanua majority alliance, Michelle managed to secure her safety into the merge, but was targeted soon after for her relations with Taylor Stocker, being a social threat, and the fact that she was the least likely to have a Hidden Immunity Idol out of her alliance.

Michelle was on Vanua. She became a part of the Triforce alliance on Day 1. After losing immunity on Day 7, her alliance member Figgy Figueroa was a target. Jay Starrett, who was another ally of Michelle told her Figgy was target. She decided to target Mari Takahashi for being strategic threat. She was able to flip Will Wahl to her side before Tribal Council, at at Tribal Council; she successfully convinced Hannah Shapiro to side with her, so Mari was blindsided. Will was now a part of Michelle's alliance.

She along with Zeke Smith remained on Vanua after the Tribe Switch, and was joined by fellow Takali's Chris Hammons, David Wright, and CeCe Taylor. Vanua lost immunity. While it appeared that Michelle and Zeke were in the minority, Chris and David decided to work with them and blindside Cece. Cece was blindsided in a 4-1 vote with CeCe voting against Michelle.

Michelle made it to the merge. She regrouped with her allies. After the Immunity Challenge, her allies Jay and Taylor Stocker wanted to target Adam Klein, but Michelle taught that was not a strategic move. At Tribal Council, she along with her alliance voted for Adam, but the others targeted Michelle because they believed she did not have a Hidden Immunity Idol, so Michelle was blindsided in a 9-4 vote.

At the Final Tribal Council, she asked Hannah which vote she was on the wrong side of, and Adam why his successes overshadow his blunders. She voted for Adam to win which he did in a unanimous 10-0-0 vote.
